I'd rather be a non-All-Star playing in the Western Conference finals than an All-Star who's sitting at home in May.

Being a superstar means you've reached your potential, and I don't think I've reached my potential as a basketball player and as a leader yet.

It represents a Bible verse I wear on my shoe. Philippians 4:13. It says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' It's also my mantra, how I get up for games and why I play the way I do.

Every step of the way I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.

If it's sports and women's golf, men's golf, and it's on TV, I'm watching it. I watched those ladies do what they do at such a high level, and she's obviously a big basketball fan and a fan of ours, too. So it was cool to have that interaction.

The more years I go, the more experience I have, the more that nutrition and eating the right foods is important for recovery and things like that.

Doesn't matter where you come from, what you have or don't have... All you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.
